This is rather fun, you can now buy matchboxes decorated with modernist architecture on the boxes.

The collection, featuring illustrations by Paul Catherall, begins with London’s Trellick Tower and Barbican Estate, with more architectural masterpieces illustrated by Catherall to follow soon.

This website has been running now for over a decade, and while advertising revenue contributes to funding the website, it doesn't cover the costs. That is why I have set up a facility with DonorBox where you can contribute to the costs of the website and time invested in writing and research for the news articles.
It's very similar to the way The Guardian and many smaller websites are now seeking to generate an income in the face of rising costs and declining advertising.
Whether it's a one-off donation or a regular giver, every additional support goes a long way to covering the running costs of this website, and keeping you regularly topped up doses of Londony news and facts.
